We stopped trusting Egnyte – a cautionary tale for users of cloud services After doing some research into Egnyte and possible alternatives it looks like plenty of other people have experienced similar problems, and there were serious security concerns back in 2012, see this link: We're in a similar position, Egnyte have dramatically increased the cost of the service but haven't improved it (in fact it's barely running at an acceptable level as it is). Less than 250GB data with egnyte's old plan only cost $55 mo with taxes, so cost is a consideration. be able to send links to external clients of folders/or files (expiration is really nice!) allow users to connect to the cloud data anywhere (like egnyte drive map) ~250GB data, but more would be nice (could backup some small VMs) no client syncing going on at the present time They dont have a vpn option as they sublease space from another tenant at the current time and the pipe is small ~1Mbps.
the old sync client is clumsy and chokes a lot causing file to take weeks to make their way up. we were able to roll back to an older version and keep the status quo for time being.
#Setup egnyte for mac update#
a year or so ago they released an update that rewrote permissions on the synced folder to stop folks from using it this way and force us to pay more for either the vm solution or go with the netgear nas solution.
#Setup egnyte for mac windows#
we basically set up the egnyte sync on windows server to push up 2-250GB data for out of office work, which only happens a few times a month really. I have some users setup on egnyte from 2+ years ago.
The user count isn't huge, right now we're looking at around 10-20 Active Directory users that need access internally and possibly 50 or so external accounts that need access.Īny recommendations would be welcome, thanks.Īnyone make headway on this? not trying to threadjack, but seems like many of you are in same boat. We'd like all the normal things like being able to set granular permissions etc.įor the external users the ability to sync to a "cloud drive" would be nice but we could get by with simple browser access. This storage should be synced to the provider and should be accessible via the cloud to accounts which we maintain via the provider such as for a business partner or a customer. What we want is a way of having some onsite storage (Virtual Appliance or a way of pointing ata folder on a 2008 R2 box) which LAN users can access as a regular SMB share and that can have permissions assigned against their Active Directory account. Works great and at the time the pricing was acceptable but they seem to keep altering their pricing and licensing models and I don't yet know if our renewal will be as favourable as the deal we're on now. We've been using Egnyte for around a year now.
